Chance Meeting at Berkeley
Maximillian Sivana had arrived at Berkely University. It had been relatively easy to pass the requirments needed to enter. He just hoped that they could actually challenge him. He wasn't going to get his hopes up. As such he took a diverse bunch of courses, simply to test himself and feed his encyclopedic mind. His mother sometimes worried about him. The genius stuff reminded her too much of dear often unlamented grandpa Sivana. Max had no interest in becoming some megalomaniac bent on ruling the world. He could just imagine the bureacratic nightmare that'd be. He knew which course was first as he remembered the schedule by heart. 

"The Histroy of Nonviolence," he mused aloud to himself. "Should be interesting." He wondered if the professor would freak out over his last name or not. Probably not, fewer people these days new the infamy of that name. He figured he might as well take a seat before the professor took role.

Ruth smiled. "Thanks. You too." She extended the hand that wasn't clutching her notebooks. "Ruth."

"Maximillian," He said returning the gesture. "My friends, well, my handfull of aquaintances call me Max."

She smiles. "My mom's approach is always. 'Dot. Dorothy to my birth certificate.'"

Max laughs, one of the few caused in-person rather than by television. "Your mother sounds like a smart lady. My mom unfortunately believed in continuing the family traditon of obnoxiously long names. Not the whole..mad science thing." Max found himself scratching his chin, a nervous tick.

"Well, in terms of embarrassing choices by parents, you've got to acknowledge it could have been worse. But yeah, we go for short first names on Team Morgenstern."

"Oh I know, believe me. I have an uncle named Magnificus." Max took a look at his watch. "Well..I have to get going to my next class. Talk to you later?"

"Sure!" She waves and heads out.

Max allows himself a genuine smile as Ruth walked away.

"Hmm, an actual friend. Maybe I'm actually developing social skills." NMax considered the idea for a second. "Nah, I just got lucky." Still, things would definitely be easier with nice company. He actually found himself wandering if he'd find more.
